More Pressure - More Leaks - More Problems

My doctor says that increasing the pressure of the APAP will create the best results in reducing AHI. I think it might be true up to a point, but as I went from 10cm to 16cm gradually over a 10-week period, as the AHI went down I also started experiencing more mouth leaks (using nasal pillow), chin ...

Re: DeVilbiss Missing CA Data or Left Out on purpose?

No. I didn't show any CA's on my sleep study, but occasionally show NRI's on the DeVilbiss data.

Re: DeVilbiss Missing CA Data or Left Out on purpose?

The following excerpt is from the Devilbiss AutoAdjust Clinical Overview on their website. "Determining central and non-obstructive apneas is a controversial subject among manufacturers of Autotitrating devices. Some Autotitrating units are limited to flow signals. Due to this limitation, some manuf...

Re: CPAP Loses Its Timing

Sorry, forgot to add that I have unplugged/replugged the machine (when I got the UPS this past weekend). 2 nights went by no problem, all hours accounted for (same routine). Last night, 8 hours sleep, 1 bathroom break, Smartcode shows 0.9 hours used.

Just periodically now, it is under reporting the hours for some reason. But, YES, I am willing to assume it is ...

CPAP Loses Its Timing

Greetings - Here's one. I just started using the DeVilbiss Auto Adjust a month ago. So far, so good. Lately, however, when I check the daily Smartcode stats, it will show that I used the maching only a fraction of the time that I actually did. I put on the mask and go to sleep at 10PM, for example, ...
